What you should do
Consumers should stop using these bicycles immediately. The firm, BikeE, is out of business and cannot be contacted. As the firm is no longer involved with this recall, consumers can take a recalled bicycle to the dealer from which it was purchased, but it is up to the dealer as to whether the repair can be performed, and whether there is a charge.
